Epithelial – a covering or lining tissue 2. Connective – a diverse primary tissue type that makes up part of every organ in the body 3. Muscle – a tissue that contracts or shortens, making movement possible 4. Nervous – responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC.

No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 7 Classification of Epithelia 2 Simple epithelium consists of a single layer of cells, with each cell extending from the basement membrane to the free surface. Stratified epithelium consists of more than one layer of cells, but only the basal layer attaches the deepest layer to the basement membrane. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 8 Classification of Epithelia 3 Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a special type of simple epithelium, that appears to be falsely stratified. It consists of one layer of cells, with all the cells attached to the basement membrane. Due to variations in the shape of the cells, the epithelia appears stratified.

No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 9 Classification of Epithelia 4 There are three types of epithelium based on idealized shapes of the epithelial cells: 1. Squamous cells are flat or scalelike. 2. Cuboidal cells are cube-shaped—about as wide as they are tall. 3. Columnar cells tend to be taller than they are wide. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC.

Connective tissue is diverse in both structure and function. Connective tissue is comprised of cells, protein fibers, and an extracellular matrix. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 23 Functions of Connective Tissue 1. Enclose and separate other tissues 2. Connecting tissues to one another 3. Supporting and moving parts of the body 4. Storing compounds 5. Cushioning and insulating 6. Transporting 7. Protection Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 24 Connective Tissue Cells 1 The specialized cells of the various connective tissues produce the extracellular matrix. The name of the cell identifies the cell functions. Osteoblasts form bone, osteocytes maintain it, and osteoclasts break it down. Fibroblasts are cells that form fibrous connective tissue, and fibrocytes maintain it. Chondroblasts form cartilage and chondrocytes maintain it. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC.

Collagen in the matrix gives cartilage flexibility and strength. Cartilage provides support, but if bent or slightly compressed, it resumes its original shape. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 38 Cartilage 2 There are three types of cartilage: hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant type of cartilage and has many functions, such as covering the ends of bones, where they form joints. Fibrocartilage has more collagen than does hyaline cartilage and is able to withstand compression and resist tearing or pulling Elastic cartilage contains elastic fibers in addition to collagen and proteoglycans.

No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 42 Bone 1 Bone is a hard connective tissue that consists of living cells and a mineralized matrix. Osteocytes are located within lacunae. The strength and rigidity of the mineralized matrix enables bones to support and protect other tissues and organs. Two types of bone tissue exist: spongy bone and compact bone. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 43 Bone 2 Spongy bone has spaces between trabeculae or plates, of bone and therefore resembles a sponge. Compact bone is more solid, with almost no space between many thin layers of mineralized matrix. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 47 Muscle 1 The main function of muscle tissue is to contract, or shorten, making movement possible. Muscle contraction results from contractile proteins located within the muscle cells. The three types of muscle tissue are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 48 Muscle 2 Skeletal muscle attaches to the skeleton and enables the body to move. Skeletal muscle cells are striated, or banded, because of the arrangement of contractile proteins within the cells. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved.

Tissue repair can occur by regeneration or replacement. In regeneration, the new cells are the same type as those that were destroyed, and normal function is usually restored. In replacement, a new type of tissue develops, which eventually produces a scar and causes loss of some tissue function. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved.
